Trek to Chander Naun Lake and the Seven Lakes

The trek to the lake starts from a village called Janglik from where one has to trek to Dera Thatch. From Dera Thatch, the next one has to trek to Lithum. The scenery from this place is breathtaking with beautiful meadows, streams, waterfall, and snow-capped mountains around you. As you trek further the trek gets a bit harder walking on a rocky surface. However, you are amply rewarded with the beautiful vista all around you and several small lakes on the way. There are in fact seven lakes in all including the Chander Naun lake.

One reaches the place after an arduous trek.  Though the trek is difficult, it is worth the effort.  The greenery and scenic beauty all around are simply mesmerizing and out of this world.
